We can blame lack of maintenance, like not caulking for example, but that won't help with a frame that has the strength of a wet dish rag. With these things flexing at every joint, water intrusion is sure to follow.
That's true but if they built frames that heavy that they wouldn't flex like that, rigs would be extremely heavy. It's a compromise I suppose. I personally like 70s and 80s rigs. My 89 has a 1 piece aluminum roof thats still in good shape. I dont care for the rubber roofs of today. Back then rigs were built heavier because weight was not as much of a concern. My trailer is 29 years old now and while it has some issues it's pretty sound overall. I do keep an eye on stuff real good though and I'm sure that has helped.
